Jaycar (Velleman) K8055 USB experiment interface board

[[email protected]]

Decided it was about time I explored the wonders of USB interface
(especially in the light of my latest lappy having no RS232 port..shock
horror) so bought this little demonstrator board from Jaycar. A couple
of ADCs, DACs, 8 digital ins and outs. All you could wish for - and a
library of routines you can call up from your own Delphi program to do
the business. The problem was that my rather elderly Delphi 3 wouldn't
even compile the (proven working) demonstrator program. Not wanting to
blow a grand and a half on the very latest Delphi, does anyone know the
oldest version it will run on. (Please don't refer me to the C option,
C and I don't C I to I)
cheers

I thought you could download the lastest Delphi for free from Borland's
website.

Borland used to have Delphi personal versions on their website, I
remember seeing recently (last few months) Delphi 8 Personal on a cover
CD of one of computer magazines.
